If this site starts getting any traction, you're going to get destroyed by lawyers and copyright infringement claims, so I hope you're prepared for that. outline.com does basically the same thing, but they've had to exclude most of the major sites from working through it now.

Outline even seems to make it difficult to find any way to identify/contact them, but it only took me a couple of minutes to find the identity and location (inside the US = easy target) of who's behind Trim. Seriously, talk to an IP lawyer before you continue trying to promote this. You can't just copy other people's writing onto your own site.

I like the concept, but in this case i'd rather load an extra 3.1MB to get the New Yorker's typesetting. 120 characters per line and a short line height does not make for a great reading experience.

That is an improvement we will make.

You can make the window narrower and the text flows, I like the current approach.

Indeed, a small amount of css would go a long way here.

Be careful, you might hear from IP lawyers if you get even a little bit of traction.

This is a completely different article.

I'm assuming by the account name that this is your site.

Off topic, but I'd love the ability to change the width of the text on your site. Just a "wide", "medium", "narrow" option or something similar. Personally, I find that 1100px is a bit wide for reading.

This is awesome

Great execution for a much needed service, hope you find a way to keep it alive.

Pretty impressive - the size of js crap these days is horrible.
